David Kramer’s sunset images are often sourced from print advertising and from COVID-era “escape” photos shared on social media. In the artist’s words,
“I’m always coming up with new ways of both admiring and dismissing the beauty of the sunset. Often the texts become somewhat self-deprecating; they’re about my inability to capture the beauty of nature. The text is often a reveal about my desire to do something that I am failing in front of you to do – to make a beautiful sunset that rivals the actual sunset that someone (or I) have photographed that is just stunning.”
The sun, of course, sets in the west. In these works, humor and satire are used to both embrace and parody the dream that California has symbolized — a kind of “westward wistfulness” that reads differently through the darkened lens of recent natural disasters.
David Kramer: Exactly the Same… Only Different continues through March 21.

If you’re out looking at art today, hop on up to Satchel Projects to see David Kramer’s solo show Exactly the Same… Only Different.
Kramer arrived at his current multidisciplinary practice intuitively and for practical reasons. In his early video work, the artist constructed his own sets, and to this end he taught himself to make upholstered furniture. The daybed and ottoman in Exactly the Same… Only Different function as both sculpture and a place to sit to view the wall-hung works. Hook rugs were likewise a natural extension of the prop-making process, and evolved to become another way to make a painting.
The exhibition continues through March 21.
